RESUMO

The forms of water appropriation correspond to the ways the individuals conceived the different modes of obtaining, using and relating to this liquid in certain historical situations. Besides the essential physiological issue concerning waters, social, cultural and even economic aspects are weaved and come about their weft. The goal of this work is to investigate the forms of water appropriation in the urban site of the city of Mariana, in the Capitany of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between the years of 1745 and 1798, when its urban reform took place. Likewise other mining urban centers, Mariana grew around the margins of rivers and streams, where mining services took place. In 1745, D. João the 5th, King of Portugal, chose Vila de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, the former name of the city of Mariana, then suffering from floods, as the episcopate headquarters of the Capitany. To fulfill this new religious function, the King ordered the required urban interventions in the city. This work includes the plurality of water appropriations in Mariana, focusing on issues like water restraining, distribution and furnishing, as well as the multiple intentions, impressions and sensitivities involved in water consumption in that city
